if the drive is disconnecting, it needs more power

The larger the drive the more power it requires. It's likely that your motherboard doesn't send enough power via USB to maintain a high enough amount to maintain stable connection. You either need to have a smaller drive in that enclosure or use the power adapter that came with it to power it.

the problem is that he is using USB-C to USB-A cable. USB-C has 3-5A with 20V while USB-A normally is 0.9A with 5V which is to low. USB-C could power it.

you test it on all other usb ports? other computer?

True but no guarantee that the OP's motherboard power output is that high. In theory it should be but no guarantee without checking specifications. I've not even seen power output per USB port listed in any manual of my last 3 motherboards. I only found out for one of them after contacting their support.

Not that it matters as OP is converting it to USB A when connecting to their computer it should be safe to assume their system doesn't have a USB Type C port. Therefore other than purchasing a new motherboard using the power adapter that came with the enclosure will be needed to supply enough power to remain stable.

The thing is that USB-C dont have another power adapter.
USB-C encasign are for use with USB-C which has a power of 3-5A x 20V (60-100W). Its enough to run a HDD like the Ironwolf that uses a current of 1.8A and average of 6-10W. Thats why those encasings that come with USB-C dont have additional power cables.

I agree that he proberly dont have an USB-C Port which is why he using that cable which is far to low (0.9A x 5V = 4.5W). The Ironwolf 10TB has an idle power consumption of 4.42W which is why it is seen up to the point where it is under load.

Only option for him is to change the encasing with an USB-Mini B Port and using then an USB-Mini B to USB-A cable and an additional power connection.

There is nothign to test - we already listed the issue. It doesnt matter which USB Port he tries, unless it is USB-C it wont have enough power output.

According to the product page (assuming it's the correct product) it has the option to use a separate power adapter.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mediasonic-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B078YQHWYW

Look towards the back right on first image and you see a power socket or look on 4th images to the left for a closer view.

In description 3 item in the list clearly mention power adapter and cable.

Package Content
HF7-SU31C x 1
User Manual x 1
Power Adapter (100 ~240V Universal) x 1 and Power Cord x 1
Hard Drive Handle x 4 and Hard Drive Screws x8
Screw Driver x 1
USB Type C Cable x 1 (3.3ft)

1. remove ironwolf 10TB from external enclosure and attach as internal hdd (sata data and power connector).


2. play video using mediaplayer classic black edition

It sounds more like you're missing codecs.

[_I_]

usb c alone will not have enough power for 4hdds and fan
use the power brick it comes with to power it

use chkdsk on the drives to make sure its not damaged

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Use the external power brick at all times.

Install VLC media player
